Students create passport stamps using graphic design software and a vinyl cutter.

Students conducted research into their assigned country, brainstormed images that could represent that nation through graphic design, then sourced silhouette images and shapes from online sources to create their stamps. Using a Cricut vinyl cutter and its graphics software, students sized and cut their shapes from craft foam. This can also be done with a Silhouette or similar craft cutter. The foam attaches to a sturdy base, and the custom passport stamp is ready to go!
In addition to the stamps, each student also created a passport book in which they collected stamps and recorded takeaways about each nation.
